SWMU 75 – Building 803

SWMU 75, Building 803, is the pump house for the former emergency fire deluge system and is located in the Waterfront area next to Pier 3. The floor of the building is constructed with an access area/manway that leads directly into Ensenada Honda. During inspections, releases of suspected waste oil and diesel fuel throughout the floor of the building were noted. Additionally, numerous discarded oil filters and three batteries were identified during the site inspection.

A total of four wipe samples were collected to characterize the interior of the building. Based upon the concentrations and types of compounds detected in the building, it appears that contamination resulting from past activities at this location has not occurred.
